I think 3 was a leap but it was poorly done in terms of story. It's like they were focusing on giving us that leap but they forgot about everything else.

The setting/time period was poorly done, the main character was boring and dull and it was a chore to play through. Now they want to give us another game with one of Demons ancestors despite <S P O I L E R S> being dead. Yeah thats a good idea say his story is finished then go back to him in AC4, you might not see him but the animus is a main part of the series.

Sooo... It's Pirates of the Caribbean? Lol, that's the first thing that popped into my mind. I honestly don't want any more AC games for a while... It's getting way over saturated now. (This coming from someone who has bought all of them and even got the logo tattooed on his wrist.)

Let it rest for a while dang it, I don't want to hate the series, but forcing it on us just about every year... It's kind of hard to feel excited for new entries at that point.

I gotta say, looking at the world map images, I'm sort of psyched for 1715 Cuba. It's no 19th century S. America but it's close enough. It could make for a pretty beautiful game world, and I suppose if they've had a separate "all new team" working on it (for who knows how long?), it could be interesting, especially since they've had time to respond to complaints about III.

I don't know, I'm not too buzzed about it being a numbered title and not a second Connor game, but it could well be very good.

Also I hope they don't go mental with the Naval battles. I mean they were fun, but not THAT fun. Unless they've given them more depth, they're still mini-games at best. Maybe you'll actually use your boat to get around the world map though, that could be cool.

ALSO I hope Edward Kenway is nothing like that cheesy, incongruous toff Haytham. Too many stoopid people think he's cooler than Connor and I'm worried Ubisoft will run with that.

Love AC but seriously burned out on it. I understand yearly series really keeps games popular and grows into a bigger franchise but its too much. Loved 2 , 3 rocked, even enjoyed the Vita title but I want either a break or just handheld spin offs for 2 years while they cook up something mind blowing. 3 could've been that game if they held it back one year to polish it up for new consoles. Still do love the series but it will wind up dying off like POP did after Watch Dogs releases.
